History VideoGame / PizzaTower

** The Halloween patch added two "Rat Fairies" to rooms in "Gnome Forest" and "Pizzascare" to top off your combo meter in what was otherwise a long stretch without any pickups or enemies to kill that you would need to play perfectly to not drop your combo on, giving a bit more leeway on those sections.

* FourTemperamentEnsemble: The four main bosses minus the fifth boss can count. The Noise is saguine (a jovial, mischievous gremlin),The Vigilante is melancholic (a [[TheStoic stoic]] no-nonsense-all-business gunslinger), Pepperman is chloerc (a brash, egotistic, self-obsessed artists), and [[spoiler:Fake Peppino is phegmatic (a [[PerpetualSmiler perpetually smiling]], empty-headed, bizzarro clone of Peppino)]].

* ObviousRulePatch: When playing Peppibot Factory as The Noise, you start the level with a bucket filled with water. Its sole purpose is to deactivate a row of outlets that would otherwise make the level impossible.

* {{Sampling}}: Many songs in the soundtrack use samples from other songs. For an example, "Unexpectancy" samples sections from the 1920s pop song "After You Get What You Want, You Don't Want It". Early versions of "It's Pizza Time" sampled the "Hello there" voice clip from {{VideoGame/WarioLand4}}, but the final game uses a sound-alike, presumably for copyright reasons. Similarly, early demo versions of "Cold Spaghetti" (the second theme of Pizzascape) sampled Wario's voice clips from the same game.

* {{Sampling}}: Many songs in the soundtrack use samples from other songs. For an example, "Pizza Time" samples the "Hello there" voice from ''Wario Land 4'', and "Unexpectancy" samples sections from the 1920s pop song "After You Get What You Want, You Don't Want It".

** Pressing Run or Grab with a horizontal direction while Super-Jumping will make Peppino cancel the jump into a shoulder-bash, instantly giving back the Mach 2 speed.

* AscendedMeme: Gnome Forest's secret level theme is called "Everybody Wants to Be a Secret", referencing the Lario meme based on the level's title card.

** Gustavo, Mr. Stick and/or Noisette will stomp any enemies on their way down during Pizza Time.
** If you edit your save file after killing Snotty, one of the Pizza Granny will tell you that [[WhatTheHellPlayer "Snotty will remember what you did!"]]

* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: The boss which the Noise faces in World 3 is different, [[spoiler:instead being The Doise instead. And unlike all other bosses, The Doise gets KilledOffForReal, meaning that rematches against them will grant an automatic P rank, and the final boss rush doesn't include them as one of the bosses to defeat due to them remaining dead]].

* OurDragonsAreDifferent: The Cheese Dragon serves as the boss of World 1 in older Patreon demos. It has a perpetually goofy expression and flies on a pair of incredibly tiny wings. It wastes your time by breathing fire at the player and butt-stomping on the ground to cause heavy objects to fall on their head to stun them.

* ScoreMultiplier: The Heat Meter functions as one of these, going up a level when enough points are scored, and decreasing a level when Peppino gets hit; in return, it makes enemies faster.
* SecondPlaceIsForLosers: If you get an A-rank (the second best) with the Noise, you'll get a screen with the Noise saying "Not an S" while looking at the player smugly.

*** Fun Farm starts with Mort's Farm and switches to What's On The Kids Menu?

** If you edit your save file after killing Snotty, one of the Pizza Granny will tell you that "Snotty will remember what you did!"

* DevelopersForesight: When playing as The Noise, Noisette will replace Mr. Stick as the CashGate for boss fights, and she will give The Noise a sloppy kiss after he pays her. However, [[spoiler:if you are playing Swap Mode and switch to Peppino before paying Noisette, she will fly off without a kiss]].

In the game, you traverse through the aforementioned Pizza Tower's floors, collecting pizza ingredients and [[AnthropomorphicFood the animate Toppins]] along the way. Within the tower's various stages live many cheesy enemies attempting to impede Peppino's progress. After fighting through their defenses, the player takes out the level's Pillar John and must race back to the beginning of the level as it starts to collapse with a timer leading to [[OneHitKill Pizzaface waking up]]...

* EndGameResultsScreen: Following TheEnd screen, Peppino [[https://pizzatower.miraheze.org/wiki/Game_Progression gives a Final Judgement]] of the player's overall performance and then some final stats are displayed. This ranges from him giving a sarcastic double thumbs up while saying "You Suck!" at very low percentages to shouting "WOW!" when the game is cleared with at least 95% completion. There is also a bonus screen for speedrunning the game in under 2 hours and the best possible one for doing it in under 4 hours with at least 95% completion. The same rules apply for the Nosie, though in his lowest ranking [[NeverMyFault he blames Noisette]], and [[StealingTheCredit claims all the credit for 95%+ completion]].
